Remember when a new major version meant something major changed?

Was nice as it prompted me to go read change notes. Now I have no clue when it's a collection of minor things or has actual major changes unless I go read every set of change notes.

That was the explicit goal of having huge irrelevant release numbers and to constantly release new versions: making sure nobody cares much and upgrade without much problems constantly to ensure security and web improvements are always there in users hands.

I remember the Firefox 2, 3 and 4 hype back in the day trying out the betas and waiting for the release. Since 5 though I stopped caring.

Now-a-days most of the (browser) software projects are following agile mode and not waterfall mode delivery.
